Former F1 driver calls out critics: 'Doesn’t understand the real matter here'

On his Instagram account, Glock posted about Verstappen's tweet, where he clarified his GT3 cars' set-up.

Glock said, "I really don’t get the point here why @maxverstappen1 is questioned about lap times! Doesn’t matter what he did, 7.53 or 7.48, with whatever kind of BOP. To me, he is a role model for our sport, already one of the greatest in our sport, he does 24 @f1 races a year, an outstanding performance every weekend. Just a reminder of last year's F1 Race in Brazil!!!" 

Glock also referred to Verstappen's passion of sim-racing. "If he has a free weekend he either sits in a simulator or in a GT3 car. Just by turning up @nuerburgring puts so much attention to our sport which isn’t the same in Germany years ago!"
